    THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE:

  1. With regard to Thomas M, we do not propose to interfere with the sentence that was imposed in that case.

  2. Likewise in the case of McLean, we will not interfere.

  3. In the case of Burgess, the sentence will be interfered with; there will be a sentence of two-and-a-half years' imprisonment. We will have to hear about when he is required to surrender in relation to that sentence.

  4. In the case of Cottrill, we propose to increase the sentence to a total sentence of four years, of which two years will be the custodial period and the other two years will be the extended period.

  5. We have to work out from what date the sentences are to run, and we have to take into account any period while they have been in custody before they were sentenced. The appropriate calculation will be made to take account of that.

  6. In the cases of the Lehals, we are not going to alter the sentences.
